This is HSN's way of snagging new customers, but that doesn't mean it's not a good deal. You'll be invited to set up an account (you also have the option of checking out as a "guest") and to set up a default payment method for future purchases from HSN. That's not a big deal, as you don't actually have to buy anything, and if you do buy something in the future your checkout will be streamlined. I opted out of the email list and used Paypal, and as near as I can tell everything went through without a hitch. Total bill: zilch.

@venksterisgod: When you get your first issue, there should be instructions near the front of the magazine. Otherwise, download the wired app through Newsstand and use the label info to set up an account to access the issues. Be aware, they are fairly large (~300-500MB per issue).

Does anyone know...it gives the option to buy up to 9 of these, is that nine different one year subscriptions or one nine year subscription?
Also, it says "What You Get: 1-year subscription (10 issues)".
When did WIRED stop doing 12 issues per year?

@fleamarketadict: I purchased nine, so I guess I'll see what happens! I'm really hoping I don't get nine copies in my mailbox next month. If so, I'll see if they can combine the subscriptions or I'll change the addresses and redirect them to friends and family.

Received an email today: "We regret to inform you that because of a technology-related issue related to the Wired Magazine offer on HSN.COM, your order did not meet the minimum eligibility purchase requirements in order to qualify for the offer. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

I got that email today, too. I hate to complain about not getting something for free, but I still think that is a pretty crappy way to do business. HSN isn't likely to get my business even when I have to actually spend money.

Also got the email today. The old bait and switch I guess. I know it was free but it was understood I was trading my info and exposure to their site for what I was getting. Now i get nothing out of that deal but they retain everything they got out of it Technology-related issue, yeah right.

I am sorry for the disappointment that you feel about the cancelation of your wired magazine subscription. I understand that you were expecting that magazine to be delivered as you had place what you though was a legitimate order for the item.

The one-year (12 issues) subscription to Wired magazine valued at $12 was offered with a purchase of any Electronics item priced at $25 or higher while quantities last. Since your order did not meet the requirements for this promotion, the order was canceled. Please know that no charges for this subscription have been made to your credit card.

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
